I’ve just bought a double vinyl
Anita O’Day - The Big Band Sessions
Its one of those hardly played survivors of a 1979 re-issue of 1959-1961 recordings. Anita O’day’s brilliant jazz interpretation shines through some quirky artificial stereo remixing. She lead a colourful life and was probably slightly past her best by this time but what a talent!

She is certainly not forgotten roadster. She was a wonderful vocalist!
Mosaic Records also brought out an excellent CD box set of the Complete Anita O’Day Verve studio recordings, now OOP. No messing around with false sound on that one.
